I (25F) have been considering ending things with my boyfriend (26M) of two months.
I’ve been on a trip to visit my best friend (24F) in a different state. The breakup has been on my mind for a little bit because there have just been some things about this new relationship I don’t really like. The general things I dislike is that he relies on me to pay for every date, shows me screenshots of his bank account to show how little he has, takes social media way too seriously, doesn’t drive so I always have to make the hour long commute to see him, and despite all this he talks about marrying me despite only knowing me for three months.
I don’t think these make him a bad guy, in fact he seems like a sweet guy so I’ve been trying to ignore it. The more I think about it though, the more I just don’t think it will work long term and I don’t want him to feel led on. I’m obviously not going to break up with him over the phone while I’m in a different state, but I also don’t want him to feel like the breakup came out of nowhere once I get back.
Any advice on how to act towards him until I get home? I’ll be back in a couple days and want to have the conversation with him pretty soon after. I’m just unsure how to go about it in this situation without making him too anxious while I’m gone.
